Half Ton Towing???

In regards to rear airbags. In my experience they definitely help with towing especially if you have too much tongue weight which causes excessive squat. Technically they do not transfer weight from the rear to the front, but if you do have excessive rear squat it does move the center of gravity back some, which is basically shifting weight rearwards. I'm not saying they work the same as a WDH or transfer anywhere near as much weight, but they do help with weight transfer some. Airbags do not replace WDH, but they do help. Regardless of any weight transfer, having airbags on my truck make it feel much more stable and planted when towing. I don't get nearly as much sway and "porpoising" going down the freeway.

That's pretty much what I was getting at, you can see that I still use WDH with my trailers

Had a 2014 Hemi, 3:21 gears, bone stock on tires, etc.--travel trailer that grossed out about 9500#. Thought I was good to go. Hooked up with a weight distribution hitch and made a trial run of about 30 miles of mixed terrain (flat ground and some hills). I don't think that the tranny ever upshifted to overdrive, and the engine sounded like it was coming out from under the hood. Unless you are going to pull something like a Casita or Scamp, I'd say swap that POS for something with a Cummins in it.
